DOCTORS BULLETINS.

Consideration for the Patient and Those
Around Him the Cause Of IL.
The case Of the unfortunate Grown
Prince Of Prussia invites attention to
habit Of the medical profession which has
y more than once attracted the unfayorable
notice OF critics.
It was surmised by most intelligent.
s readers at the first reports of his condi-
ti0n that the disease was cancer. But
particles Of the growth were removed,
and sent to Virchow for examination,
and reputed by him to be non-malignant.
4 Now, Virchow is claimed by some
TO be rather 'behind the times"
. thing which is apt to be charged
upon old men. But NO one pre-
tends that Virchow 10 not fully able to
identify the microbes of cancer when he
seee them. And yet we are at last told that
the princes trouble 10 cancerous. Did
yirchow, then, make rnistakef The
cable says not. It explains that the
ar0Wth sent to him was not itself of .
cancerous nature, but that It was .
formation exterior to, or ION top Of" the
+ cancer proper. Well, then, the question
arises, Did DR.. Mex know that this
Skttendant growth indicated the presence
: cancer, and wss its accompaniment

scanccr itselff
Weehink the conclusion Of the candid

Interpretations knew this perfectly

I simply warding OF the avowL Of an
